The Japanese Tea House Chashitsu Jakuan (Cottage of Tranquility) on the north side of the garden was presented to the University of Hawaii in 1972 by Sen Sōshitsu the15th- generation grand tea master of the Urasenke Foundation. Dr. Sen was a member of the East-West Center Board of Governors from 1997-2004. On special occasions tea is still served in the tea house by the University of Hawaii’s chado (tea) club.
